SPECIFICATIONS (continued) Lockout: Unauthorized front panel changes can be pre vented by entering a user selected 5 digit code . The front panel can be Feed Batching Application completely locked out (e xcept Start & Stop) or the preset can remain accessible.
MOUNTING The unit is designed to be mounted with a gasket providing a water tight seal. Two mounting brackets are provided to secure the unit to the panel. A panel less than .1" may distort if the clamps are screwed too tightly. Slide the body of the unit through the rubber gasket.
WIRING The rear terminal contains 12 screw terminals for connecting #14 to #28 gauge wire. The unit is controlled by a microprocessor and, therefore, an electrically "noisy" environment could cause operating problems. The input power line should not be common to power lines for motors, pumps, contactors, etc. The unit is designed to be immune from line or RF voltage interference.

WIRING (continued) AC / DC Power Connections NOTE: Connect power only after other connections are finished. Do not touch the live AC power terminals! The unit has been designed with an isolated AC input. Thus, polarity is not a concern for the AC input. Connect AC power to pins 11 and 12. The chassis is plastic, therefore earth ground is not used.
THEORY OF OPERATION Batching Relay B Operation After the batcher has been programmed, it will operate Relay B can be programmed as a prewarn relay or as follows: grand total/batch counter alarm. The unit will reset to "0" (count up mode) or load When Relay B is set for Prewarn, Relay B will ener- Preset A (count down mode) when RESET/STOP is gized when the batcher is started.

CALCULATING SCALE FACTORS The unit has a programmable scale factor to scale the input pulses. It is a 5 digit , floating decimal divider factor. The fac t or to enter is the number of pulses per the desired unit of measurement. The factor ranges from 0.0001 to 99999. Scale factor calculations are simple.

The input impedance of RS232 is 3Ký to 7Ký worst case. The SERIAL INPUT COMMANDS: To get a unit on line you must address it by it's device number. terminal addressing the unit must be capable of driving all This is done by typing DXX(S), XX= device number. The unit loads in the loop.
ANALOG OUTPUT OPTION SWITCH 4: Calibrate (normally off) Description: An optional 4-20mA (0-20mA) output has been added to the Minitrol Switch 4 is used for calibration. Calibration is done at the factory series. The output can be programmed to track rate or total. This and should not be needed (see SWITCH 1 to enter high and low feature is available by adding suffix A to the part number.
